For the salad, you can purchase ready-made herring fillets or cut up whole fish. In this article for us you will find three common cutting methods.
Vegetables must be boiled until soft, and eggs must be hard-boiled.
It is better to cook beets separately from other vegetables so that they do not get colored. Plus, if you don’t know a couple of secrets, it will take longer to cook than everything else.
If the recipe calls for grating the potatoes, boil them in their skins.
You can create a savory mayonnaise for a salad yourself, or use other sauces instead.

1. Traditional herring under a fur coat

A common dish, without which almost everyone cannot imagine a New Year's table.

Ingredients

2 beets;
2 carrots;
3–4 potatoes;
3 eggs - optional;
1 salted herring;
½ onion;
salt - to taste;
a few tablespoons of mayonnaise.

Manufacturing

Boil beets, carrots and potatoes until tender. If using eggs, hard boil them. Cut the herring.

Peel the cooled vegetables and eggs and grate them on a large grater. Cut the fish fillet into small cubes and the onion into very small pieces.

Make the first layer from herring or potatoes. If you start with potatoes, it will be easier to put on the prepared salad: the fish cubes will seem to be sealed.

Place onion on the 1st layer. If there are potatoes underneath, lightly salt the ingredients and, if desired, brush with mayonnaise. Distribute herring or potatoes on top, depending on which product came first, and mayonnaise.

If you are preparing a salad with eggs, add them and lightly salt them. Then spread the carrots and brush them with mayonnaise. There should be beets and mayonnaise on top.

Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours so that it is well soaked.

Traditional herring under a fur coat

I think it is unlikely that there is at least one person in our country who has not tried and does not understand what kind of salad this is - “Herring under a fur coat”. I'm just sure that this popular layered beet and herring salad is a big winner at most New Year's Eve dinner tables. Why specifically New Year's? Yes, because this salad was usually considered “winter”, because it contained long-lasting vegetables, which were present all year round in stores of Russian times and in the bins of summer residents. And although nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with salads made from new cucumbers and tomatoes in the winter, nevertheless, herring under a fur coat remains a favorite festive salad for most children and adults.

I would like to present now a traditional recipe for herring under a fur coat, which, in my opinion, is the most delicious and balanced. The sequence of layers in this salad is not so important and everyone chooses it according to their own taste, the main thing is that the beets and mayonnaise are at the very top. I previously believed that herring must necessarily be the bottom layer, but in this case, when putting the salad on a plate, part of the most valuable ingredient disappears, so now I prefer to put potatoes down, which makes the strongest base for the next layers.

The standard for herring under a fur coat is to take a whole herring and cut it into fillets without the help of others, because in this case the fillet comes out the most juicy, fatty and, accordingly, tasty. But since this is a rather labor-intensive process, for which there is not always enough time and effort, from time to time you can completely use ready-made fillets purchased in the store. When choosing herring fillets in a store, you should give preference to whole fillets rather than pieces in oil, because for such products, selected herring of the best quality is usually taken.

Layers of herring salad under a fur coat are usually laid out in a deep form or salad bowl and served in this form. But for a festive feast, you can create the most beautiful and decorated system in the form of a luxurious layer cake, which will become a real decoration for the upcoming celebration. By following these simple and detailed instructions, you can effortlessly prepare the most delicious, tender and juicy salad “Herring under a fur coat”, which will whet the appetite and amaze the imagination of your guests!

Sea fish is an incredibly necessary product, provided with easily digestible protein and unique minerals, which should be consumed by both adults and children as often as possible. The fish fillet itself has low calorie content and unparalleled dietary qualities, therefore the total calorie content of fish dishes depends on the method of processing the fish and other components of the dish.
